Digital Skills For Citizens

The internet is a wonderful resource and it’s for everybody. However, almost one in seven adults living in Ireland have never used the internet.

The ‘Digital Skills for Citizens’ Programme focuses on supporting and empowering citizens to participate fully in Ireland’s digital economy and society. This scheme provides digital skills training for citizens who have never used the internet with a view to removing a key barrier to digital adoption.

You are invited to a coffee morning in the Glasshouse Hotel on Tuesday 24th September at 11.00am where you can sign up for this free course.

It’s a lot of fun – meet new people and learn new skills. If there is anyone you know who you think will benefit please encourage them to come along.

Communities Participating in Decision Making

In 2013 the government set up ‘the working group on citizen engagement’ to examine the best way to get greater involvement of citizens in local government. They recommended the establishment of Public Participation Networks in each county.

The SligoPPN is the main link through which the Local Authority connects with Environmental, Social Inclusion, Community and Voluntary Organisations.
